Great idea, and super impressive for 2 hours! Just some small notes: I think I was still able to type words even when they were off screen on the left, and clearing my currently typed letters when I move to the next level would be nice because I always had to waste the first second or two backspacing my currently typed letters.
Nice! Stopped playing on level 50. It didn't seem to get any tougher and I just kept being around the same 140 seconds of time.

Very solid stuff for only two hours! Funnily enough, I made a quite similar typing game few LDs back and it took me the whole weekend. 😅 Of course I did do graphics and audio on it too.
The biggest annoyance was doing a typo on a word that already went off screen and typing the next word without realizing and then needing to go back to fix the first word. Of course audio cues could help in this situation too.
But yeah, not much else to say. Seriously wonderful stuff for only two hours. Works flawlessly for what it is and obviously could be improved on if you had more time! Good job! 👍🎉

Great game! I got too slow after level 80, so I got game over'd.
Super fun - keep up the good work!

I wish you had time to implement your other ideas ! What were you going for ? Like other said great base here ! Kinda obvious but it has to be easier when you're actually an english native speaker... I can't get to level 50 sadly :imp:
I'm impressed by the fact that you managed to have something that polished and bug-free in 2hours ! I hope one day to see what you can do with 48 :p ! Congrats on the jam !

thanks @camcomduck @antti-haavikko @elanor & @u-238 for trying my game!
Sorry that I didn't have any time to look at the jam since.
And super happy that you enjoyed the game as much I did create it :smile:
